Middle School :: Curriculum

Biblical Integration

LCCS seeks to honor the Lord in each academic area offered. Every teacher continually integrates Biblical truths, stories, and concepts into the curriculum. Each academic discipline at LCCS is founded upon a specific list of ten Biblical Core Truths for that class. These Core Truths and numerous supporting scriptures were created by the faculty members in that discipline.

Hands-on Middle School Science

In middle school science, lessons are learned by a variety of methods.  Active learning by doing and experimenting is common. For example, students build miniature biomes volcanoes, catapults and bridges.   


Computer Projects

In middle school computer classes, students are using Excel and Power Point to create budgets and presentations for school-improvement projects. Examples of what some groups are doing include a school "Spirit Gear" store, a school media center, a student lounge, and an Eagle swimming pool. The students are researching their creative ideas while keeping within their allotted budgets.
